Chainset will be sanded and clearcoated so will be just carbon.Not sure what weight will be.This will be for racing not just leisure.If any of you have any ideas where I could save some weight please let me know.

apologies for the poor quality picture I will take some pictures later tonight when it's finished.need to chop down steerer and seat mast slightly and also gear cables and bar tape.also require some bb30 spacers so will be finished tonight.currently fitted with Athena 11 shifters until I get my Super record fixed.

I am also pleasantly surprised at the weight of the compression bung (27g)upgrade in future will be a new isp topper and ritchey 4axis -17 degree stem

so I've been away racing and not had time to be on here.two races and two top 10 finishes so far on this.finally got round to taking pictures.Unfortunately until this weekend I cannot give you a weight of the bike as a whole.

frame is very responsive and stiff, handles very well even with the 14cm stem.not sure on frame weight. I cut 5cm seatpost from original which weighed 16gcut fork weighed in at 369g

so guys i'm looking to bring the weight of this down. still not tracked down any praxis or stronglight ct2 53 rings cheap?I've ordered a ritchey wcs 4 axis stem which should knock somewhere in the region of 40-50g off the weight of the bike. I think a stronglight ring or praxis would knock 50g off.

I did buy a knock off parlee carbon fd clamp however it is quite flexy, has a shiny surface so any pressure on the front derailleur and it slides?

I'd like to get the weight around 6.5kg with the 60mm carbons in and maybe around 6.2kg with 20mm carbons in.Obviously there is the limiting factor of the frame being relatively heavy I believe.

I've searched before but a different ISP doesn't seem an option as the weight difference is minimal for current options?I may upgrade axles in my speedplay pedals but we shall see.

Hey brearley, I just received an FM029A today. This will be my first build. What headset did you put on your FM029 and how much prep work was needed to get the HS installed? Also, any issues with the internal cabling?Thanks. I hope not to pester you too much, so I hope you don't mind these questions.

I don't mind any questions.I used the headset which came with the frame. No prep needed really. Put the crown race on pushed down fully opening it up slightly with a screwdriver then put both bearings in. once the fork was cut and stem put on the headset could be tightened and since then i've never had any issue with it.

absolutely no issues with the internal cable routing, slid through nicely. Even with the kink you usually get due to the way Campagnolo cables come out the shifter it was fine. I have used powercordz swift cables which add another element to getting the gears to work fine but this isn't really an issue anyway.

I could do with cutting the isp maybe 2-5mm but so far off 5 outings the bike has had top 10s in 4 of those so i'm not too sure.
